Chapter 4: Fallen.

Domenic covered my mouth when I tried to scream again. Thankfully it wasn't the bloody hand. He glared at me like I pissed on his puppy. He was still holding on to his wounded side, but he stood straight like there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.

"If you scream again, I'll rip out your throat." His husky masculine voice made me unable to register his threat. His voice coupled with his face was so hot, I had to gulp down my nerves.

He was so close to me and I could smell his manly Cologne and the faint smell of fresh blood on him. The smell made me wrinkle my nose in disgust. It's obvious that he's seriously wounded.

Seeing that I wasn't going to scream again, he released my mouth. I studied him from head to toe, it doesn't look like he was in any pain, but he was seriously bleeding.

"Shit, are you okay? You're seriously injured. We need to get you to the hospital."

"Forget it, if you know what's good for you, run away from here."

Before I could respond to what he said, we heard growls, actual growls like that of an animal. My eyes widened in shock, "what the fuck is that?!" I shrieked in horror. Don't tell me it's a Lion?

What the fuck!

Dominic doesn't look at all surprised, "Run!" Unexpectedly, he took my wrist in his hand and together we ran through the woods.

Whatever was chasing us was coming closer, it's paws causing the ground to shake and it's growls loud and frightening.

"What the hell is that?!" I screamed at Dominic, but he didn't respond. He kept running and pulling me along with him.

There was a cave right in front of us and without question, Dominic dragged me into it and my awkward self ended up stumbling into the darkness. Dominic let go of my hand in order to catch me, but I ended up falling on him with a yelp pushing him down with me.

He groaned underneath me and I sat up looking down at him. My flashlight was still in my hands and I flashed it against his face. He had on a pained expression, and only when I felt the liquid soaking my dress did I realize that I had fallen on his wound.

"Oh fuck! I'm so sorry." I apologized sitting up quickly.

He also sat up with a groan. "You're quite the clumsy one kitty cat."

My face grew hot and I knew without a doubt I was definitely blushing. "Th... That's not my name. Why would you call me that?!"

He grinned looking amused by my reaction. I didn't want to admit that I like the way his light green eyes sparkled when he's amused. Dominic Darkshadow is definitely the most handsome man I have ever been blessed to see. I have seen pictures of him, but he is a lot more handsome than the pictures made me believe.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see him in this part of the city.

"You're staring." He pointed out with a smirk, and I blushed again and quickly looked away. What girl in her right mind won't stare when they have Dominic Darkshadow in front of them? Quinn would never believe if I tell her who I met in the woods.

I cleared my throat and transfered my flashlight to his injured side. He was still clutching it, but I could tell he was losing a lot of blood.

Worry instantly cladded my mind. "That looks bad. We need to get out of here and get you to a hospital. My car is just outside in the middle of the road." I groaned when I remembered that the fucker broke down. That's why I'm currently in this annoying predicament. "Or we can just wait for my friend. She's coming to get me."

His smirk widened. "You care about me Kitty cat?"

I gave him a deadpan look, "for someone who is currently dying, you sure have the strength to flirt."

He shrugged like my words means nothing, smiling like he wasn't bleeding out a gallon of blood. "You can't blame me. You're cute."

My heart threw summersaults at his words. I could feel it pounding in my ears and my face grew hot.

I quickly brushed him off. He's probably another Jason who wants to get in the pants of anything with a skirt.

I rolled my eyes and moved towards him. He studied my every move with curiosity and caution. I knelt close to him even with my heart pounding like it was about to fly out of my chest.

I reached for the hem of his shirt, but he grabbed my wrist with his other hand before I could. I stared into his eyes and he was staring back at me. His eyes were filled with caution and distrust but also something like curiosity.

I gulped noticing we were very close to each other. I could feel his body heat warming me up. His hands were a lot bigger and stronger than mine and I know I wouldn't be able to escape his grip no matter how hard I tried.

I stared into his eyes with pleading eyes, "I just want to check how bad it is and see if there's anything I can do."

Silence followed my words and all we did was stare at each other. The world seem to stop around us, and all I could see right now was those eyes, those eyes that had soften slightly at my words.

Slowly, he let go of my wrist giving me the permission to lift his shirt.

I let out a dramatic shaky breath and reached for the hem of his shirt. My heart pounded in my chest and I gulped before lifting his shirt.

The first thing my eyes registered was the very visible sixpack and a mouthwatering v line that ended just above his black leather belt. His light skin which is almost white underneath my flashlight looks like they were glowing.

I felt a sensation straight to my core at the sight of his body. How would it feel underneath my palm?

"Like what you see Kitty cat?" His smug voice drew me out of my staring setting my entire body on fire.

I blushed madly and looked away. I won't admit that I love the way he chuckled. "You're really cute."

"Shut up!" I snapped and focused my attention on his injury.

I gasped when I finally saw the wound. It looks like claw marks, deep, dark and ugly. The disturbed skin was still bleeding furiously. How can he smile and laugh right now? This looks really bad.

"We...we need to get you to a hospital!"

His expression turned cold and he pushed my hand away, "I'll survive!"

"Fuck no! You need a doctor right now. It looks bad, and it might get infected."

He raised a brow at me. "You shouldn't care about me Kitty cat. I'm not who you think I am."

"I know you're a dangerous Mafia boss and all, but dangerous Mafia bosses can also die you know."

He laughed, deep and rich. "You're something else."

I stared down at his wound again. "At least let's stop the bleeding." Without thinking, I teared off the hem of my white dress and covered up his wounded side. "We need something to tie around it." I looked around, but there was nothing helpful.

"Will my shirt do?" He asked, but I noticed the teasing beneath his tone. I hesitated. Would I be able to survive seeing his full naked upper body?

I quickly recovered, "y...yes it will."

I held on to my ripped fabric on his wound as he took off his shirt. I licked my lips when I sighted his delicious muscular arms. Long and veiny. He could easily pick me up and throw me unto a bed with one hand, or lift me against a wall with my thighs wrapped around his waist.

"My shirt isn't going to tie itself you know." He teased drawing me out of my dirty thoughts once again.

I sighed and quickly got to work tying the shirt over mine to cover his injury.

When it was all done, I sat back and avoided looking at him. I don't want to keep having weird thoughts about him. Especially when he's not wearing a shirt.

All of sudden, Dominic said something I wasn't expecting. "Thank you."

I was really surprised because I honestly thought he was a dick. I mean, he's the most dangerous Mafia boss in the city, I didn't expect that from him.

I wanted to say something, but Dominic sniffed the air and his expression changed. What's that about? Don't tell me I smell!

"Fuck! You have to get out of here!" He said urgently. Do I really smell? I discreetly tried to sniff myself, but my eyes widen in fear when I realized his urgent tone. "Why? What's going on?"

"Don't ask me questions kitty, just get the fuck out of here, Now!"

His harsh tone had me shooting up faster than I could comprehend. Then I heard it, a loud thunderous growl.

"W_what about you?" I asked in worry. I can't just leave him here.

"I'll be right behind you kitty. Go now!"

I hesitated but when I saw the look in his eyes, I ran out of the cave and into the darkness gripping my phone flashlight like my life depends on it.

I ran and ran through the woods, the growls grew louder like it was just behind me.

I ran faster, as fast as my legs could carry me. All of a sudden, I stumbled against a rock and fell forward right into a big hole I hadn't seen in the darkness.

I screamed loudly as I fell deeper into the hole.

My exact thoughts in that moment were this.

'Oh I'm going die! I didn't even get a chance to prove to Jason that I don't give a fuck about him anymore.'

Fucking bad luck!
